With frontispiece and 15 more illustrations. The British folklorist and traveller L. Garnett, visited extensively the Balkans and Middle East, a fact for which she was considered an expert on the cultures in these regions. She aimed to supplement the accounts of earlier, mostly male travel writers who visited the Balkans with information about the lives of Balkan women (Albanian, Macedonian, Armenian, Hebrew), which she thought to be sorely lacking in previous works about the region. Ex-Library copy with usual stamps and labels. Original decorative cloth hard cover binding is rather worn, faded spine, rubbed and bumped extremities; embossed decoration and title in black and gold. Text block very clean and tight, blue top edge, untrimmed pages. Good copy.
